Behold the power of cheese

You gotta love those slogans. Actually, my favorite one is, “Pork: the other white meat.” Seriously? But that’s neither  here nor there. Perhaps that slogan actually got into my brain somehow on a deeper level, the cheese one. Because today at Casa Turner|Augustine (Taugustine?), it was cheese day.

So, we made ricotta cheese this morning (goal 27!). Right there in our home kitchen. And I felt like Ma Ingalls again, and I spent a minute swooning over Michael Landon, because that happens every time I feel like Ma Ingalls. This time, I got so into it, that I felt like I should go face Mrs. Olson at the mercantile.Hey, I spent many childhood hours watching Little House on the Prairie on TNT.

Then, we went to Zingerman’s Creamery for a bit of a tour. Why  not. I mean, if we are beholding the power of cheese (and gelato), we might as well go the distance.

And the little guy even got sorbet out of the deal. I love my life.
